Be careful with the X10 cameras, the staff of this company is very friendly when it comes to sell you a cam, but when they have purchased a camera, they have very bad service, and the cameras are less than half of what they announce whether is that the cameras manage to be functional more than three months.

I have two camera they buy them and sold them to two customers, they returned the camera to me that never worked and now I have the camera practically garbage, after this I lost more than 5000 dollars in this company.

The Sentinel really does not hold up the weight of its price tag. But in this market it is a good choose. Many high dollar products abound and Sentinel in the middle of the road with much of the bells and bangggs. Still, bucks...Bucks...BUcks...BUCks...BUCKs...BUCKS$$$$$$%$$%%$$%%$%$OUCH >*<LOL

Hi,I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I have 2 Sentinel cameras and am having the same problem with the tilt as described by others here. I am interested in trying the solution described below by DMC3551, but have a few questions:

Has anyone tried this and had any problems I should be aware of? (The camera is already out of warranty so I am aware it might void the warranty)

In the instructions, second bullet, it references "Once removed then find the four recessed philllips screws." Once what is removed? The 7 screws referenced in step 1? I dont see these 4 screws, only the 7 ones referenced in step 1.

The instructions mention cutting the foil tape. Could a portion of it be covered with black non-reflective tape instead of cutting the foil?

ONce reassembled, how do you put the head in the 90 degree position without the power on??

This original post is about 3 1/2 years old, so if anyone has any new suggestions, Id appreciate the help.

The Instant on wireless cameras keep the video detector and electronics active and switch the RF on and off.The older ones took a few seconds for the video detector to charge up and the picture faded up as it turned on. For a time when both versions where being made. The Instant On ones cost more than the originals.

I KNOW what the standard x10 cams will do but I want to know from an OWNER of a sentinel camera if the camera retains its settings once a motion detector switches over to another camera and then back to the sentinel.

A couple more questions, if the motion sensors switch to another camera other than the SENTINEL and the SENTINEL is doing it's automated PTZ, will it continue to do it's programmed PTZ?? Let's say I set the SENTINEL up to pan back and forth all day automatically, will it continue to do this if switched to another camera??

I don't know. I no longer have a Sentinel to test... and I can't remember.
